Online, James Bond online.

Good afternoon, Off the Record, how may we help you? Yes, yes, OK, that's correct. Off the Record. It's a rumor report called Off the Record. No, not a sex hotline. Right, sir. We post information leaked from game developers and publishers that hasn't been officially announced. Secrets, new games in development, things that happen under the radar, so to speak. No, sir, not under Britney Spears' skirt. What? Christina Aguillera's nipple shots? Sorry, sir. No, no Anna Kournikova underwear shots either. Right, just game rumors and secrets. And no, sir, no. For the last time, you can't get free downloads of barnyard animals doing young high school girls. What? You can't pay for it anyway, cause you're 15? It's OK, um...sir... this rumor report is free. Right, most information should be free. Yes, sir, even porn, we agree should be free. Goodbye sir...

Online, James Bond Online While Electronic Arts has not announced anything official yet, the quietly delayed James Bond game, by the name of James Bond Everything or Nothing, is not just being delayed cause it wasn't working right. Instead, Bond EON is, in fact, developing quite well. The team is working to hone the controls, adding excellent hand combos and well designed levels, but it's also incorporating online gameplay.

Yup, just like everything else at EA (it's like an inter-company competition over there), Bond will offer gamers two-player co-op online play -- as well as head-to-head deathmatches. The co-op is the heart of the online gameplay experience, as it offers genuine co-op teamwork levels. Players must communicate, strategically coordinate through levels and use teamwork and communication a la the USB headset to do it all right. Sounds good to us. We'll have more on Bond in the near future.

Sorry there is so little at is point. We're swamped by reviews! Just remember that we love rumors, and if you hear any really good ones, we'll post them. Sent them to Off The Record.
